14 Thoughts of a Devout Reader

We literature lovers know what we love in a book, we also know what we dislike in a book. Its always nice to find that book that draws you in and keeps you there. We all have a few thoughts that we have when we read books. Heres a list of 14 of them.

1. How do I pronounce this name?

You know them. Eadlyn, Rhysand, Hermione, etc. We all have them.

2. I don't know what that word means, but I don't want to stop reading to look it up.

"Excogitate" to consider or think something out carefully and thoroughly.

3. Oops, I found a typo.

"Then she she laughed."

4. I really like this character, I hope they don't kill them.

This is a very real fear in some books, and with some authors *cough* Cassandra Clare *cough*

5. Wait, who's talking again?

Too many pronouns!

6. I don't remember anything I just read.

I read half a page and didn't retain a single word.

7. Who is this chucklehead?

This person was extremely detailed and then never talked about again? NO, they must be important.

8. Did they really just use the "She let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding," line?

Seriously, why is this line so popular?

9. Just one more chapter.

Then you finish the book and didn't realize you read for an extra two hours.

10. Why are humans trying to talk to me right now? Can they not see I have a book in my hands?

When I have a book, I don't want to talk to you.

11. Wait, this isn't the end, right? There has to be more.

When a book ends in a major cliffhanger, leaving you distraught.

12. When is the sequel released?

Google! Google as fast as you can!

13. WHAT?? IN A YEAR???

I have to wait a full year to know what happens next? How will I survive?

14. I guess I'll have to reread it.

So you do.

Christmas tree
Librarian Lavender

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
